By adding either a 5 nm Nb or a 10 nm NbTiN layer between the Au and NbN, to preserve superconductivity in the NbN under the Au contact pad, superior noise temperatures have been obtained. Using DC I,V curves and resistive transitions in combination with process parameters we analyze the nature of these improved devices and determine interface transparencies.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=337), last updated on Tue, 18 May 2021 18:15:53 -0500", opturl="https://www.nrao.edu/meetings/isstt/2003.shtml" }
